IRIS STANDING, HOLDING A ROBE – ACRYLIC PAINTING

Another Saturday another model. This was an exceedingly difficult pose, not for me but for the model. She stood for over 2 hours without support. She did very well.

I felt this worked a bit better than last week. I find the standing model generally uninteresting, but the lighting helped, with natural lighting coming from her right, giving some nice highlights, despite the overhead lighting which they insist on keeping on. I tried to do most of the work with a flat brush but then picked up a couple of rounds which resulted in a loss of consistency. Under pressure to complete, I lose my purpose sometimes.
